Re: Just announced shows in San Francisco

I'm a sucker for Fillmore posters. Also a sucker for the cheaper beer prices at Indy. If we're counting Oakland though, I've had some good times at the Fox; that might be my favorite. Just a beautiful interior.

Re: Just announced shows in San Francisco

GAMH and the Fillmore are the best, and extended to Oakland I'd include the Fox. The floor on the Fox is the best, esp since they have all the tiers where its super easy to see over the rest of the audience.

Devo is playing the Fox on that same date. 6/28 - Devo @ The Fox Oakland

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Devo perform the legendary, experimental music the band created between 1974-1977 in Akron Ohio! The tour is dedicated to the memory of Robert Casale, (A.K.A. Bob 2), one of the 5 original Devo band members who is now touring the universe. A portion of all proceeds from the tour will go to Bob Casale's family. This early Devo material was recently presented to the public with the Hardcore DEVO re-issues on vinyl & CD last year.

Re: Just announced shows in San Francisco

the Jurassic 5 show at the greek isn't going to sell out in the first week, right? I am never good at predicting this stuff. since I am headed to the Fox next Wednesday for Neutral Milk Hotel I'd prefer to wait until then to get tickets and avoid fees.

Re: Just announced shows in San Francisco

The Fox sells fee-free tickets to almost all Another Planet shows (I think excluding The Independent, which can only be bought at The Independent box office). I have purchased tickets to shows at Bill Graham, the Greek, etc. many times. They are open on Fridays and show nights 90 minutes before.

Re: Just announced shows in San Francisco

continuing recent trends, Neutral Milk Hotel tickets for the Wednesday show have plummeted to as low as $18. Thursday still a little higher, Friday still near face value. again, feeling a bit ripped off that I got tickets when they went on sale.

Re: Just announced shows in San Francisco

Yep, me too. It goes to show how many scalpers are buying tickets to these things. APE, Live Nation, and whoever, are basically banking on the scalpers to generate additional shows for additional revenue. In the end it actually works out for the band (more shows) and people that gamble and wait to buy the tickets at lower prices. But it screws over the scalpers and people that are conscientious enough to buy the first show right when it goes on sale. You got to figure this is how its going to be until the scalpers realize its not a good business model.
